Kids Wakeboarding
Learn to
At Hove Lagoon children are able to start wakeboarding from the age of 10. It is brilliant fun and very exciting! We guarantee to get kids up and wakeboarding. Beware it can be addictive! Full tuition and all equipment is provided.
Improve
The BWSW Cutting Edge Silver program is the perfect way to improve the wakeboard skills of youngsters to the level where they will be able to attempt small jumps and have an introduction to surface tricks. We will work towards the BWSW Cutting Edge Silver Award.
Advanced
The BWSW Cutting Edge Gold course takes childrens wakeboard skills to a high level. We will work towards the BWSW Cutting Edge Gold Award with the aim of going on the obstacles and learning new tricks.
Private Session
An opportunity to run a session for an individual or a small group.
Ride the cables
We have three wakeboard cables suitable for riders of all levels. We do our best to manage the abilities so you get to ride with people of a similar skill level on the most suitable cable. Come wakeboarding…
Regular Riding
We want to get you wakeboarding as much as possible. Lagoon Beach Club Wake offers a season pass to wakeboard and is by far the best value if you want to ride lots. We also offer 5 and 10 hour passes which save you money too.

Customer Reviews
Wakeboarding was really good fun and Hove Lagoon was a good location. The staff are nice and the water was clean. I would really recommend this to anyone who doesn’t mind getting wet, because you will get wet! Even if you have not done it before it is easy to learn. The most enjoyable bit is being on the water at fast speed and not falling off

My son Joshua has just finished the children’s watersports course that was on this week. He really enjoyed it and had such a great time. Just wanted to let you know how much fun he had and to say thank you for looking after him and introducing him to watersports! He is keen to do more sailing in the future.

On my first go, I got up on my feet and I was wakeboarding! Then I fell, but I got up and did it again and again until I could do a jump start and get to the other end of the lagoon faultlessly. It was challenging with the cold water and wind but the thrill made up for it without a doubt. Overall a great trip which put a smile on my face for the rest of the day

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes they love it. At Lagoon Watersports we have shorter paddles for little people and as Hove Lagoon is only waist deep it is very easy for them to enjoy it.
We have taken all reasonable steps to provide your child with the level of care and assurances of safety appropriate to the activities they will undertake. However, you should be aware that certain inherent risks remain which are integral to the activity and which cannot be eliminated without destroying their unique character. Such risks can lead to feelings of discomfort, fear and apprehension and in some very rare cases, injury.
The kids courses which run during the school holidays start with a short parent briefing. Please take the time to attend this briefing as it will explain how the course works and other information we feel you should know.
We get a lot of lost property and it can be very difficult to identify items, particularly when wet.
- Please encourage your children to take everything home at the end of their session.
- Please name your children’s clothing
- If you leave something behind contact us as soon as possible, ideally the same day.
We frequently take photos and videos of activity sessions involving both adults and under 16’s. These may be used in our brochures, social media and other promotional material.
If you do not want photos taken of your child please let us know.
We take the safety of all our customers very seriously and in particular children. All the staff are DBS checked, they are all qualified by the NGB of their sport so this will be the RYA, BWSW and BSUPA. Many of them are qualified with all of the above. To become an instructor they all have to have a current First Aid Certificate. Both the Brighton Marina and Hove Lagoon sites are inspected in regard to their equipment and also their operating procedures and have to reach very high standards.
At Lagoon Watersports we like to encourage the children to start when they are young so we have some very small sails designed specifically for little people. They are very light so they start with those and as their strength builds and their skills develop they can move to the larger ones.
Please click here for our full booking terms and conditions and ensure that you understand our cancellation policy.
Be aware rebooking fees are charged for cancellations made with less than 4 weeks notice.
Our cancellation policy applies in all circumstances including no shows, illness, relocation, transport failure and bereavement.
The reason for this is when you make a booking with us we assign staff and equipment to deliver the booking, we are therefore unable to offer that space to anyone else. We will have made commitments to staff for your booking and we may have turned away other bookings. Unfortunately we are unable to get insurance that covers us for this loss. We therefore do not offer refunds for cancellations as we are likely to incur costs.
Course Cancelation Insurance
You can take out insurance to cover the cost of your course against cancellation through CancelSure. Guide cost is £12 for the first £100 of cover and then £6 per additional £100
of cover and an excess of £25 per claim.
Our Advice
- If you pay by credit card your cancellation maybe covered by your credit card provider.
- Consider taking out course cancellation insurance.
- Your holiday insurance may cover you for course when you stay on our boats.
You are welcome to add your kids to your Beach Club membership. If they are of the required ability they can go on the sea (when conditions are suitable) provided we have written parental consent.

No, all they need to bring on the day is their swimwear and towel. We will provide everything else for them but if they have their own they are very welcome to bring them. Please make sure if they do bring their own that it is labelled.
